VOLUME THIRTY-FOUR. Declares He jDid Not Send Cable gram Which Brought Hot Reply From Hearst MATTER UNDER INVESTIGATION Gompers* Denial Pleases Bryan—Labor Leaders in Chicago Repudiate At tempt to Make Federation of Labor Political Organization Gompera la Denounced. Lincoln, Neb., July 18.—A dispatch from Erie, Pa., quoting Samuel Gotnp era as drying that he sent the cable gram to William R. Hearst which re sulted in the latter's denouncing the democratic party, has attracted consid erable attention at Fairview. There is no disposition to question Gomper's statement, but on the contrary there is every reason to believe that an in­ quiry already has been set on foot to ascertain if possible the author of the cablegram credited to Gompers. Bryan's speech last night to riiem bers of the central labor union of Ijincoln, in which he emphasized the labor planks of the Denver platform, •has resulted in the receipt by hhn to day of a large number of telegrams from labor leaders all over the coun try congratulating him onj his utter ances. Organizing the Negroes. i- :i.The organization of negro demo cratic clubs in the states of Indiana, Illinois and Ohio, formed the subject of the convention today between Bry an and Don Farnsworth, of Chicago, who was manager for Charles A. Towne in his candidacy for the vice presidency. A well-defined effort is to be made by the democrats to secure as large a negro »»te as possible in the middle west, and Farnsworth's visit was the result of suggestions which haJ 2»ee7i made to him in Denver by democratic leaders. The offer of his services for this purpose was accepted by Bryan, and Farnsworth left for his home with the understanding that the matter will be further discussed In Chi cago during Bryan's stay in that city next week. 1 Gompers is Denounced. Chicago, July 18.—Considerable trouble is in store for President Sam uel Gompers of the American Federa tion of Labor, according to local labor leaders, because of his enthusiastic declaration in favor of Bryan's cause. There are few members of the Chicago Federation of Labor who care to bravo the wrath of Che national federation head by openly opposing Mr. Gompers, altho many of them have expressed private opinions on the subject which are liot exactly 111 accordance with his views. Their theory generally Is that the federation Is not a political organiza tion and that Mr. Gompers as presi dent of that bocty was unwise in of ficially espousing the cause of any particular candidate. Furthermore, there is dissatisfaction among the republican members of local labor organizations at the prospect of federation organizers, traveling on ex pense money furnished by themselves, acting as Bryan spellbinders. The Longshoremen's association, a anion with more than 30,000 members, already has expressed itself as opposed to the candidacy of Mr. Bryan, be lieving that It would get better treat ment from a republican administra tion with Bryan at Its head. Daniel J. Keefe, president of the or ganization and prominent in the work of the national labor organization, was not in Chicago yesterday, but he pre viously has expressed himself as being friendly to Mr. Taft. His .associates say that he will not express himself on Mr. Gompers* action in public. Daniel Smith, of the Switchmen's union, and a member of that organiza tion's grievance committee, only would say that he favored Mr. Taft's candi dacy and would -permit no labor leader to dictate his political views. "My political views are my own and always shall be," said Mr. Smith. "I believe that the majority of thinking men feel as I do on this matter." George Nacey, of the Stereotypers' union, could not find words strong enough to express his contempt for the promises held in the democratic plat form, which apparently had called forth Mr. Gompers' expressions of ap proval. "They're all rot," said he. "These promises won't amount to a whit more than previous promises of a like na ture. I have lost faith in them and I don't believe that anybody takes them seriously. I can't see why we should permit ourselves to be led to vote for a candidate just, because of such agreements as those. No labor unions are going to be delivered in this way." Equally strong were the expressions of other labor unionists, who look up on their political views as a thing apart from their union cards. An offic ial of the street car men's organization declared that no member of that union would be influenced by Mr. Gompers' stand any more than he would, by that of any other fellow unionist. "Mr. Gompers' views only are his own," said this man. "Every man in every local in the American Federation of Labor has the same right, however, tQ his views. I do not believe that there will be any attempt to deliver the un ions as organisations or the members --i ®5rS \«5 as individuals to Mr. Bryan." It was suggested that Samuel Prince organizer for the American Federation of l^abor, who now ,1s in Detroit agi tating against Mr. Gompers because of his stand in favor of Bryan, prob ably would come to Chicago. It is likely that with Organizer Prince in Chica go the low mutterings that now are being heard would attain far greater momentum and some official action might be taken. CONFERENCE AT OYSTER BAY. Bonaparte and! Others Consult Presi dent on Important Question. Oyster Bay, N. Y., July 18.—Presi dent Roosevelt will hold a conference today with Attorney General Bona parte and several other government of ficials, one of whom probably will be Assistant Secretary of State Bacon. It is thought probable the appeal which Herman Kidder recently made to the president on behalf of the American New.spa.per Publishers' association to restrain the news print paper manu facturers from combining and main taining high prices may be the sub ject of the conference between the president and Bonaparte. The appeal was made direct to the president, who turned the matter over to the depart ment of justice. KERN VISITS OLD HOME. Given Rousing Recr ^)n Upon Reach ing Kokomo, i..d., Today. Indianapolis, Ind., July 18.—John W. Kern, democratic candidate for vice president, went to Kokomo, Ind., today to visit his old home and neighbors. He was met by a large reception com mittee, and given a rousing reception. He made a short address. EMPEROR OF CHINA IS ILL. Physicians From Provinces Are Sum moned to Pekin to Aid Him. Peking, July 18.—The emperor of China, Tsai-Tien, has been ill for several days.

The American athletes have re ceived cablegrams from all parts of the United States expressing sympa thy with the unfair treatment accord ed them.

Story That She Is to Repurchase De Sagan Estates is Denied. Paris, July 18.—The willingness of the Princess De Sagan, formerly the Countess De Castellane, to sell her chateau at Marais has given rise to the report that she is to dispose of her mansion In the Avenue Malakoff in this city and her other property in France, and that with the proceeds she would repurchase the ancestral estates of the Prince De iSagan in Germany, where the prince and prin cess plan to live in the future. Maitre Caichard, attorney for the princess, said that the report that the princess had placed her country house on the market was incorrect, altho she was willing to sell It if she could get an advantageous offer. The report that the princess intends selling her city residence and moving to Ger many, however, is without founda tion. The Sagans do not purpose giv ing up their residence in France.

Case, asking a dissolution of the partnership. Fred G. Austin was appointed receiver, under bond of $250,000. It is said that no other De troit financial institution is involved. Practically the only charge which Currie makes in the bill is that Case, in taking orders from customers, did not secure enough cash to cover the purchase of stocks and bonds by the firm, and that the firm in this way be came obligated to others to the extent of about $1,000,000. In a statement this afternoon, Currie and Company declare that the ability of the firm to pay its debts, depends wholly upon the amount of outstanding accounts, amounting to over $1,000,000, which can be collected. It is said that the liabilities of the firm are anywhere from $f-00,000 to $700,000. ANCHORED HEN IS FAITHFUL. Imprisoned For Year by Concrete She Continues Egg Yield. Philadelphia, July 18.

'fri Wlcs-Ht r*jr «i ''ic IIAKSHAJLLTO WJS IOWA* SATURDAY, JULY 18 190S Vs., Congressman Wearies ot Con troversy and Will Permit Recount of Votes HULL MEN THREATEN TROUBLE Hull Delegates Refuse to Attend Dis­ trict Meeting Called to Fill Vacancy on Ticket—Executive Council Puts Question of Dallas Vote Up to Attor­ ney General. Special to Times-Republican. Des Moines, July 18.—Congressman Hull contemplates withdrawing his suit in Dallas county and thus permit a recount of the vetes. His attorneys admit this is 'under contemplation, claiming that Congressman Hull Is tired of the whole business. The Hull delegates will not attend the congressional convention this af ternoon at 2 o'clock. Trouble is Threatened. The, county republican convention today, after nominating Ben Ness for sheriff, adjourned. Bob O'Callahan, for Hull, made a motion to reconsider the action of the convention when it met some weeks ago appointing a commit tee of five to select delegates to the congressional convention. Before it was put W. B. Bailey moved to ad journ and the convention adjourned. The Hull men are threatening to prevent the congressional convention, called for 2 this afternoon, from meet ing by barricading the doors to the hall. If the convention is called to or der they threaten trouble. It is claimed Mie Hull delegates will not attend. Prouty Would Accept Dallas Recount.

If Hull wins there will not be a whimper from me. If I win I don't want any whimp er" from him." Convention Adjourns Until Tuesday. The congressional convention was called to order at 2 o'clock by Charles Bradshaw with all the counties repre sented but Dallas.

Question of Counting Vote Without Returns Referred to Lawyers. Special to Times-Republican. Des Moines, July 18.—The Hull Prouty contest with reference to count ing the primary election returns with out the vote of Dallas county, which is stills up in the courts, has been re ferred to Attorney General Byers. That is what became of the ques tion Involved in an all forenoon hear ing before the executive council and all afternoon session of the members of that distinguished body. The question put to the attorney general is this: "Does the primary law require the executive council to canvass the re turns in the Seventh district with re spect to congressman before the fifth Thursday following the date of the conventions in the counties of the dis trict?" That was the inquiry, to which the whole contest simmered down after a half dozen attorneys and the execu tive council had thrashed over the matter for eight hours. It involves the question of whether the executive council is required by the primary law to ignore Dallas coun ty in mstking up its report on nomina tions made at the recent primary, Dal las county having failed to send in its returns. It is the contention of Judge Prouty in the local congressional contest that the executive council is required by the law to determine before the fifth Thursday following the county con ventions, who has been nominated for congress at the primary election of June 2. And he contends that if any county "has failed to make returns to the council as required by the law the council must ignore it in making its canvass. He fixe3 .the fifth Thursday after the county conventions, as the date prior to which the executive council must act and make its finding known because the primary law re quires the congressional convention to be held not later than the fifth Thurs day following the county conventions. On this proposition members of the executive council are said to have been in disagreement, yesterday. How they are divided there is no knowledge out side their own body. They listened to Judge S. F. Prouty and Thomas A. Cheshire argue for the former's con tention as outlined, and, heard Captain Hull, W. E. Miller and John G. Myerly argue against it during about four hours yesterday forenoon. And after discussion of the question during four more hours, referred the question to the attorney general. This does not mean, necessarily, that if the attorney general holds that the council must proceed with the canvass of the votes cast for congressional nominees in this district, ignoring Dal las county as long as it has no returns on file, that the council will follow that course. It may. An opinion from the attorney gen eral Is not expected today. Warm Fight Over Judgeship. Politic'ans anticipate the warmest aort of fight over the nomination of a republican candidate for judge of the supreme court to fill the Bishop va cancy, when the special state conven tion meets. There will be a large field of candi dates. About thirty names had been suggested to Governor Cummins for appointment, and since he Will not ap point and the parties will hold nomin ating conventions to select party can didates, it is supposed that a majority of them will be in the race. In addition there will be a large number of others, probably, who will go Into the race. Among the new names heard men tioned yesterday in connection with the nomination were Congressman B. P. Birdsall of Wright county, Judge W. R. Green of Audubon, and Judge H. M. Tower of ^ornlng. II is understoe it W. H. Berry of Indianola aire? .as announced his [candidacy for nomination at the convention. .-I. McHenry of the Polk county ^h will be into the race, also, i' j* .lought, and there may be a oonte ,o* long three and possibly all of the .1 judges for the Polk county .Ion. Judge Green will be a candle' ..or the nomination, with out dor .ie lias been fourteen years on the bt. jh. Judge Z. A. Church of Jefferson, certainly will be a candi date. It is improbable that the committees will reconvene the former convention which met pursuant to the primary election. It. is supposed that they will call a new convention, and the coun ties will select delegates in the usual way. This will Include the precinct caucuses to select delegates to the state convention by the county conven tions. The delegates to the conventions will be selected In the old way and without the intervention of any of the provis ions of the primary law. Under thtj primary law the county conventions were all held the same day. They may be held at different times for the selection of delegates to the coming state conventions.

SWINDLERS THRIVE AT ALBIA Eye Specialists Secure $50 From Each of Two Farmers. Special to Times-Republican. Albia, July 18.—Two Monroe county farmers are out $50 each, because of the clever swindle practiced by two so-called eye specialists. The swin dlers arrived In .the city and registered at the New Monroe hotel, under the names of D. P. Dyer and B. Bemis.

Upon arriving at the Patterson and Duncan farms, th°.y gave out the statement that they were eye spec ialists and were informed that the farmers were in need of treatment for their eyes. The fact that both farm ers are sufferers from an affliction of the eye made the introduction of the strangers perfect, however, to help a good thing along and to make them selves safe they produced a letter bearing the signature of a local doctor, T. E. Grufcbs, in which they were and Duncan as expert eye specialists. As a result of the treatment and advice furnished by the supposed doctors, Pa.tterson made a cash pay ment of $10 and signed a supposed contract for the payment of $40 for a term of treatment by the doctor. Duncan paid no cash, but was no •better off than his neighbor as he also signed what he supposed was a contract for the payment of $50 for a series of treatments for his eyes.

The tragedy is believed to have been due to Hill's insane jealousy of Diller, whom Mrs. Kimbell said was her son, but whom Hill believed was given too much attention by the woman. Mrs. Kimbell has been a leading figure for years in the district. Fifteen years ago she angered the man who was her hus band, and she lost her right eye frona bullet wound inflicted when he tried to kill her. The shooting was the result of the jealousy of the husband. Later he died, and she married A. M. Kim bell, who died a couple of years later. Two days ago Mrs. Kimbell went to the soldiers' home and told Hill that 'her son, Albert Diller, had arrived. Hill refused to believe that Diller was her json. He investigated and wihat he learned seemed, it is said, to justify his suspicions. DOG'S BITE SAVES 30 IN A FIRE. Failing to Arouse Housemaid by Barking, Animal Uses Fangs.

Special to Times-Republican. Des Moines, July 18.—Editorial Statements by some of the newspapers of Iowa would indicate that there Is a feeling at least with those few news papers that the slato'board of control of atate Institutions should toe abol ished, or ^t least should be greatly curtailed. The state board hadl been in existence-just ten years on the first of this month and It Is'hot believed that among the great .body of the peo ple there Is any sentiment for such an action worth considering but at the close of the first decade under the state board it'Is considered proper to take something, of an inventory and consider Just wiiat changfe^ diavu. been made by the state .board. *t With the completion of 'the new cell house at Fort Madison which- will be done shortly, tshe lust relic of the old idea of management of state institu tions will have been removed. Former ly at the Insane hospitals the windows were all barred and there were padded cells for the violent inmates. There is nothing of that left. A patient-when admitted to an insane (hospital is treated as a slcW person. Every ef fort is made to Impress upon the mind of the patient that they are simply sick and need rest and medicine. In this way the mind of the patient is prepared for the treatment. Bars at the windows led the inmates of old to consider that they were prisoners. A patient is no longer put in a padded cell and allowed to completely exhaust himself trying to butt his brains out against a wool mattress. If the pa tient becomes violent there aVe -attend ants ready to restrain it and keep the patient in his bed. At the penitentiaries the old idea used to toe incarceration and that only, if the condition of the prison was en tirely unsanitary it was excused as being good enough for prisoners. The prison idea twenty years ago .In Towa was an .improvement over the old idea of- a dungeon' entertained two or three ?tnturles ago only in degree. When :he new cell house at Fort Madison is completed it will be as sanitary as it can be made and the prisoners while restrained of their liberty will ibe treated in a way intended to keep their health as good as when they enter. The lock step which branded a man »\r!r rever he w,a«. soon after with the .idellble stamp of prison service, has rn abolished. But these are only a frvv of the improvements. The old idea abuse of prisoners has been ex changed for one of merit.'The prisoner vvho obeys the rules of the prison gets -eater liberties than those who don't -aul the result of this substitution of kindness for cruelty has worked won rleru in the prison discipline. The board of parole law provides that some one from the office at Des ""oines shall visit each of the institu tions at least once a month and that the entire board shall visit all the in stitutions In a 'body once every sdx months. On these visits the inmates of the institutions are all given an op portunity to make any complaint they wish against the management. They are allowed a private audience with the members of the board and are pro tected in what they say to the board. This rule while simple has worked wonders In the management of the in stitutions. Under the old system if an insane person made a complaint it was given no consideration because the person was Insane. It is recognized now that even if a person is insane ihe is capable of telling the truthl about some things and his insanity may not affect his knowledge of institution abuses. As a result inmates are treat ed better than ever before. The varying kinds of institutions in Iowa are such that Innovations, new ideas and reforms adopted in one in stitution do not fit -all. In the Indus trial schools the old idea was that they were bad girls and boys who should be punished. The idea on which the state board of control has' worked so successfully is that If boys and girls of 12 and 14 and younger are bad the presumption may be strong that the trouble has started with the parents and that if the parents had properly reared their children they would not have come to the institution. In the vast majority of the cases this is true. As a result every child coining to the industrial schools Is taught some trade. The girls are taught how to cook and are taught stenography and typewrit ing in addition to being given a good general school education. They are taught dressmaking and other useful things. The boys are taught harness making, printing, stenography and typewriting, bookkeeping, brick and stone masonry, carpentery and such things. It. has been found that if a boy or girl has some trade at which she can get fair wages she will be employed regularly and that busy boys and girls do not get into mischief so readily. Ttiis has been fourtd to be the case in so many instances that it is a rare exception for a boy to go as ray after graduating from .the Industrial school. Music has been found to be one of the most civilizing influences that there is. At the same time It is found to be remarkably curative for certain kinds of troubles. The policy on which the penal institutions of Iowa are governed is to make good citizens out of bad ones whenever possible and music at the in dustrial schools and the penitentiaries has been found one of the best means to that end that there is. The boys and Kirls at the industrial schools and the prisoners at the penitentiary are taught music and the bands are regu lar fixtures at all the institutions. At the insane hospitals and the schools for tne blind, deaf and feeble minded music has been found to work wonders. At these institutions musical programs are given weekly and there are little theatricals at which, the pa tients who are talented take part. It is a relaxation that Is the all desirable thing in the case of Insane patients. In tho work'of the Institutions there are several newspapers published regu larly. At the reformatory at Anamosa, at the schools for the deaf and the In dustrial schools regular weekly papers are printed and at the insane hospitals similar publications for the benefit of the inmates and for the purpose of ed ucating the children in the art of print ing. At all these institutions a regular system of parole is in operation. Boys and girls at the Industrial schools and children at the other educational insti tutions and the insane are paroled by the state board of control. By this system of keeping the inmates out on good behavior and keeping the insane out as long as they show signs of con tinual Improvement saves the state a vast amount of money in tho care of the patients and inmates and also works for a better condition among them, -v FOLLOWS UNIQUE TRADE. Vinton Man Averages $125 a Month From Catching Gophers. Special to Timcs-Republlcan. Vinton, July 18.—William RIchm er yesterday caught 10S gophers around Vinton, which is probably the largest number of gophers ever caught in this stato In one day. He has been working in Benton county for some time past and it Is stated that he averages $125 a month in bounty from the county and in addition to that amount he collects ten cents per animal caught from the farmer upon whose farm the gopher is taken. He has developed a very unique and profitable business, and Is rapidly ridding this community of the pest. There are several others at work around Vinton catching gophers, but none of them have had the great suc cess of Richmeyer. He seldom places a trap but what he Is shortly re warded with a catch, which nets him twenty cents apiece. County Auditor Turner stated yesterday afternoon that the county has paid out bounty for 7,000 gophers this spring, which in money means $700, and that they are now coming in as rapidly as before.

The Marshall Philantliropist's Institution For lieleased Prisoners Not a Success OFFERED TO THE W. C. T. U. Property Will Be Turned Over to Women's Organization Under Cer­ tain Conditions Desires It to Be Used as a Maternity Home Is Valued at $15,000. Special to Times-Republican. Fort Dodge, July 18.—Hope Hall, the home for ex-convicts, established by Father" L. S. Coffin several years ago, is to too abandoned for the pur pose for which it was established. Mr. Coffin has offered the buildings ar\d real estate to the W. C. T. U. of Iowa, to be used as a maternity home uAder cortain conditions. The W. C. T. U. will consider the matter at the next annual convention, and it is believed favorable action will be taken. If ac cepted It Is probable that the Benedict home in Des Moines, which is to be re moved to some other city anyway, will •be abandoned entirely and the work consolidated in Fort Dodge. The property is worth $15,000 or more. Hope Hall was one of only two or three Institutions of its kind in the oountry and it was altogether a pri vate philanthropy of Coffin. He felt years ago that there ought to be more of a kindly interest in the convict about to be released from prison, or just released, and he established- his institution which was open as a home to ex-prisoners until they could get a decent place in society again. But recent prison reform legisla tion enacted in Iowa has lessened the need of Hope* Hall and Mr. Coffin reached the conclusion that the prop erty could better be used in other lines of philanthropy. This conclu sion prompted his offer to the W. C. T. U. LIGHTNING'S QUEER PRANK. Demolished Bed in Which Mr. Rindel, of Wellsburg, Was Sleeping^,jv Special to Times-Republican.

Nona Big Suit Against Fraternal Order Commenced in Iowa SUPREME LODGE ATTACKED Grand Lodge of Wisconsin Demands a Division of Guarantee and Fraternal Aid Funds—Bankrupt Wisconsin Or­ der Sues for $63,000 As Its Appor tionment. Special to Times-Republican. Des Moines, July IS—Illegal trans actions, shady business deals and vio lation of trusts were charged against the supreme lodge of the A. O. U. W. by the grand lodge of the A. O. U. W. of Wisconsin In a lawsuit involving half a million dollars filed in the dis trict court here. Burke, Alexander Burke and R. L. Parish, representing 'the Fidelity Trust company, as trustee of the grand lodge of Wisconsin, filed the petition, which charges that the supreme lodge had failed to pay claims amounting to (68,966 and that It has also made away with a guarantee fund amounting to $427,987.75. The grand lodge asks that the supreme lodge be ordered to pay the $63,966 in claims and that it be hold accountable for/ the guarantee fund of $427,978.76, making a total amount of money involved nearly half a million dollars. According to the petition, the su preme lodge of the Ancient Order of United Workmen Is engaged in insur ing llveB on the assessment plan and also In organizing numerous grand lodges of .the order In different states. These grand lodges, it Is claimed, are subject to the terms of the supreme lodge and the supreme lodge is liable to all claims due a policyholder in the grand, lodge in case the grand lodge should become bankrupt and unable to pay. The Wisconsin grand lodge, the plaintiff In the action, the petition re cites, in May, 1907, was duly adjudi cated bankrupt by the United States district court of eastern Wisconsin. It is claimed in the petition, when the grand lodge went to the wall, the supreme lodge refused to open the guarantee fund and come to the res cue of the grand lodge, altho the offic ers of .the grand lodge made demand for their share of the guarantee fund. The supreme lodge, it Is claimed, even, went so far as to absolutely wipe out and abolish the guarantee fund and in its place established a fund known as the fraternal aid fund. In this fund, it Is claimed, the supreme lodge contended that the grand lodge had no Interest whatever. But the grand lodge contends that it, has al ways paid its regular Share into both the guarantee and the fraternal aid fund, and because of this fact and be cause of the terms of the agreement governing the distribution of these funds claims a share in both. Thus far, it is claimed by the grand lodge, no move has been made by the supreme lodge to make a satisfactory accounting of where the $427,978.75 of the old guarantee fund has gone. So it has sought the aid of the courts and asks, that the supreme lodge be held liable for a strict accounting or the disposition of the money in this fund DRUNKENNESS COSTS LIFE.

M. Weans Loss of Shops Removal Will Not Take Place for Some Time Projected Transfer of Des Moines, Iowa Falls Northern is Formally Completed Sale to Milwaukee Still Predicted. Special to Times-Republican. Iowa Kalis, July 18.—By the action of the stockholders of the Des Moines, Iowa Falls Northern, that road passed out of existence, yesterday, a majority of the stwk in the Short Line voting to sell its property to the St. Paul Des Moines Railroad company. At the meeting of the stockholders in this city, 7,485 out of the 9,025 shares were represented and the vote to sell was unanimous. At the meeting a pro posal was received frc.n President G, W: A. Dodge, of the St. Paul Dea Moines road in which that company offered to buy the property of the Des Moines Short Line for $902,500, and as sumo the indebtedness of the company, This proposition was accepted and the deeds of transfer have been sent east for execution by President W. A. Brad ford, of the Short Line. This action means the change in name of the road which runs from Des Moines to Mason City. The management of the road under the new ownership will remain the same as under the Des Moines Short Line and no changes in person nel of the office or operating depart ments will be made. The Des Moines Short Line was promoted by tho late 13. S. Ellsworth and thru his efforts wa.% built to Des Moines. Later the •bulk of the stock passed into a syn dicate of eastern capitalists headed by Geo. A. Fernald, a well known Boston banker. Last year, It was decided to extend the road to Mason City and thus gain an outlet to the Twin Cit ies. This Improvement the old com pany did not care to undertake and so the St. Paul Des Moines road was brought Into existence. The completion of this line to Mason City precludtd the operation of two distinct compa nies so a consolidation was Imperative and It was a question whether the Short Line should absorb the St. Paul Des Moines or the latter company take over the Short Line. It is stated that no immediate change will be made in headquarters but that in the course of eight or ten months, the gen eral offices will be moved to Des Moines as well as the shops which have been located here. It Is stated, however, that a portion of the round house equipment will remain here, as a repair department. While the officials of both roads disclaim the statement that another merger will take place in a short time, yet It Is generally be lieved by the public that this consol idation is but the forerunner of the ab sorption by the Milwaukee system of the St. Paul Des Moines road as a short cut between the Twin Cities and Des Moines and eventually to Kansas City.

Dodge Pioneers' Day ADDRESS TO BE NON-PARTISAN The Pioneers Would Ba Espaoially Glad to Greet Kern, as Ha Was Resident of Iowa During the Early 60's—Celebration to Be Held in Au- gust. Special to Times-Republican. Fort Dodge, July 18.—Fort Dodge will probably be one of bhe Iowa towns which will receive a visit from Judge J. \V. Kern, democratic candidate for the vice presidency. Late yesterday afternoon, an invitation was extended to him to make the address at the cel ebration of "Pioneers' Day," in connec tion with the local chautauqua. The observance of the day haa be come the annual custom of the Web ster County Historical society, and the celebration Is always held in connec tion with the chautauqua, ail old set tlers being admitted to the grounds free of charge, and extended other courtesies during the day. The Invita tion! to make ohe address, was flret extended to Judge W. S. Kenyon, a former resident of the city, but now of Chicago, but he was compelled to decline the same owing to a preaa of other matters, and the forepart of the week a prominent Iowa man Was in vited, but no word having b*en re ceived from him, it was considered best to make an effort to secure Can didate Kern. Should tihe invitation be accepted, the address will be strictly non-par tisan, and naturally will be of Inter est to the pioneers, in that Judge Kern was a resident of Iowa during the early 60's. As soon as it became noised about the city that there was some idea of extending him an invitation, the committee having In charge the se curing of the speaker, was almost ov erwhelmed by requests that an effort to bhls effect be made, those making the request belonging to all partlefe. In response to the demands, late yester day afternoon the matter was laid be fore Mayor C. F. Duncombe. who has just returned from attending the democratic national convention at Denver, and he extended the invita tion. A strong belief is expressed in the city that the same will be accepted, as it will give the candidate a chance to renew acquaintances in the Hawk eye state, and as the address will come in August, It will in no way interfere with his campaign work.

Reducing Fat on a Full Meal If you want to reduce your flesh a pound a day, say, and still are averse to exercising or cutting down your meals—from three to one or .half of one—you can manage it. Ask your druggist for a package of iMarmola Prescription Tablets they cost but a trifle (an effective quantity being ob tainable for only 75 cents), and take one tablet after meals and at bedtime. That Is all. Just eat whan and what you please, leave exercising to the athletes, take your convenient little tablet faithfully and that flabby flesh will soon disappear—possibly at the rate of a pound or more a day. T.hese tablets are licensed as harm less and effective by the Marmola Co., Detroit, Mich., for they contain Iden tically the same ingredients as the famous (Marmola Prescription: Vz ounce Fluid Extract Cascara Aromatic and 3% ounces Sirup Simplex, which as everybody knows is put up regu larly and recommended by every druggist In the land.

EASTERN OFFICE R. J. Shannon, Manager, Brunswick Building, New York, N. Y. "SOUVENIR' THIEVERY. Souvenirs are very nice things but they seem to develop the trait of covetousness. The forward tendency of the spirit to get something for nothing is natural to the Ameri- can people, .the European people, the Asiatic people and everybody on the face of the earth. When you give away something valuable the recipient is naturally pleased with the present, but if he gets in the habit of having things presented to him he will soon begin to believe that everything ought to be his. He sees a little object here or there that he considers of no great value to the possessor, and if he wants it, he slides it away in his pocket when no one is looking. He becomes a sort of kleptomaniac and does not resist the growing ten dency on his part to become a sneak thief in a limited and sort of amateur ish way. The traveler who has this failing is the one who "benefits" most and the hotels and the Pullman com pany are the fellows who are bitten by him constantly. For as much as the Pullman company is deserving of crit icism it certainly has a well grounded grudge against the traveling public for the loss of many pieces .of soap and towels. The soap is placed in the bowls, wrapped and sealed, making a nice souvenir of the trip, and the traveler often thinks that it and the towel go •together, so deftly slides them into his bag.' The hotels lose many of the same ar ticles and often a piece of tableware, if it is of exceptionally attractive qual ity, and the most strenuous efforts on their part are sometimes unavailing in suppressing the evil. Spoons, salt cel lars, pickle and oyster forks are among the table equipment that often seems to take wings and fly away. Recently a hotel was opened in Kal amazoo and 20,000 people passed thru the doors to inspect it. Visitors car ried away such things as doilies, sheets and other things which they found in the bedrooms, claiming the things as souvenirs. In the afternoon tha maids had to take loose things from the' rooms. If there had been no 'one around to re- press the itching to possess something without payment we suppose marble top washstands, wardrobes uiid even bedsteads would have oeen carried off as "souvenirs." A new hotel in New York is $6,000 to the bad on account of the grabbing mania, and this in a period of six months. It has cost this hotel $1,000 a month to replace stolen articles. It would be a good thing for the hotel keepers and for public decency if they would take a flat stand on the "souvenir" question and prosecute of fenders without quarter. A brief cam paign along this line would do more to bring people to their senses than warnings galore. fj. WEALTHY BY CONTRAST. Stuyvesant Fish is quoted in news paper dispatches as saying: "In my opinion it is really harder for persons who" have had an income of $250,000 per year to come down to live on a $50,000 a year basis than for a man who has been earning $15 a week to accustom himself to living on $10 per week." Mr. Fish is a man of big affairs, but his conclusion in this instance Is ridiculous. The man who has an in come of $50,000 per year has vastly more than he needs. An income of that magnitude ought to provide not only every necessity of life, and every lux ury, but leave so much more that he wouldn't know what to do with it. The trouble with the men of great wealth is that they live by comparison. The rich man envies one richer to a larger degree than does the poor man envy the one who has prospered better. He imagines he must have a better mansion, more servants, finer automo biles and horses than those who are, measured by wc^aith, his equals. These things are more than luxuries. They are extravagances. A curtailment in these departments need work bo hardship if envy is put aside.. The $15-a-\veek man, if a good man ager, lives well. He is enabled to in dulge in a few luxuries, an occasional outing with his family, and possibly in time owns a modest home. He and his wife must be financiers as much as is the magnate with many interests They must figure in cents where men of the Fish class figure in thousands. He thinks his lot is a hard, one, but gets enjoyment from life if he is a good citizen. Compared to the $10-a-week man he is as far removed as the millionaire is from him. The $10 man merely exists. He can have no luxuries whatev«-r. The sole problem of life with him is to pro vide shelter, food and clothing, and these are not of the best. Clothing thai Mr Fish's meanest servant would not wear suffices for himself and family. Nothing is saved for a tainy day, and if sickness or an enforced la'-of£ comes, he must beg1, steal or starve. Possibly it would be well if social conditions could be so adjusted that the $250,000-a-year man could be lim ited to $50,000. The $15-a-week man would be satisfied "to sign a contract to quit the money-getting game pro vided he could have the *50,000 Income for one or two years and the $10-a vveelc man would grin at the prospect of moving Into the $15-a-week man's house and up to his place on the pay roll. BOOST FOR BETTER ROADS. If you are the owner of a horse or of an automobile you will do well to give ear to the good roads movement. Iowa hag a lot of quite a t^e gr00(j roads and she has few that are not good, and as greatest farming state in the un- lon and the enVy states t0 Jt that her best o{ tenance of all the other in this direction, she should look highways are kept in the conjition. Farmers, of course, have the deepest Interest In the maln- g00(j r0ads between the vll- lages and citlcs, as their use of these paths Is the most practical. With them the road is an absolute necessity with out which they could not carry on their pursuits. But this does not excuse the man who is merely the possessor of a pleas ure vehicle for sitting back and leav ing everything to the farmers. So far as direct Interest is concerned they are in the majority but every man who wants, to see the goo£ of his own prop erty conserved should speak, aot and give to the Impetus for a network of first class roads. If he can not see any good of it, let him look at it in a seflftsh way. The better the roads are the better condi tion will his horse or his automobile keep in. The smoother and firmer the road the better state will the horse's feet keep In and the less often will he need to be shod, and horse shoeing, be it remembered, costs money. The finer highways the auto enthusiast has on which to operate his machine the less power he will need to expend, the gas oline bill keeping down in consequence. The more even the road the less will his machine be Jolted and the longer will it run smoothly and keep its ef ficiency. Gqod roads lend to the lives of horses and buggies, carriages, wagons and automobiles. The stock driven to the railroad is in better condition for having trod a good pike and is in con sequence likely to sell for a mite more i. when placed on the market. Good roads cost patience, energy ttfid cash, but they are worth more than they cost, for they give it back to the makers, possibly without^ any con sciousness on the part of the people, but it is given back just the same. A point that will particularly Jm- pregg thg farmer is that he must keep •his roads In repair to assure the de livery of mail by the .government for Uncle Sam does not agree to bring around the letters unless he has a de-. cent foundation to travel on. Every lit tle while the postoffice department de cides that a rural route has too bad toads for the carrier and serves notice on the residents that it must be flxedi unless they wish to'call'for their maU And it is fixed forthwith. But the people should not wait for this or any other kind of a leverage to be exerted to induce them to keep their roads up. This season, it is true, has been a particularly trying one for £he country roads, as heavy rains have been destructive of good work accoirt* plished by the people. But exasperation need not take the place of good "horse" sense and as soon as the road is washed down it should be built up again. Iowa owes it to her reputation as a superior farm state to keep forged in good order the links which connect the acres of .the various thrifty tillers of the soil. The Iowa highway commission will meet in Waterloo,, Aug. 10 and on the next day the Iowa Good Roads con vention will commence in the same city. There will be a school of instruc tion and many interesting offerings of advice. It behooves everybody to keep in touch with the proceedings on these occasions. Topics of the Times. "Ye editor" will now either have to walk, dig up the cash or stay at home. Senator Daniel, the Virginian who opposed Bryan, called on the candidate when on his way back from Denver. He may have felt like Daniel in the lion's den. -'/i-v Hobson chooses to preach the doc trine of war with Japan, but the pub lic disapproves. The world never was fond of Hobson's choice, anyway.'- Mr. Bryan's salary as editor of the Commoner is, we are told. $10,000 per year. But who are the stockholders and what do the dividends amount to? We suspect that Bryan owns the whole business, and that the $10,000 Is merely put out of one pocket into another. Senator Piatt,whose political notoriety was added to by the recent May Wood breach of promise suit, celebrated his 73rd birthday by having "Three Weeks" read to him. Evidently the senator is determined not to resign anything. When Rockefeller is writing those memoirs there Is no need for him to cover the sixty-nine tedious years of his existence with uninteresting. data. -r* 'V*t wincgr aa»WCTii(CTi/lincn» He could make his life very short by simply writing it, "Taft Is more widely known than Bryan," asserted a witty partisan. "You don't mean to say you believe he's met as many men as the Nebras ka man, do you?" queried the demo crat. "I don't know about that, but his girth is much greater." By getting that book contract for $1 a word President Roosevelt has at least solved that problem of what to do with one ex-presldent. Stuyvesant Fish, millionaire ex presldent of the Illinois Central, says its harder for a man used to a $200, 000 a year income to drop to $50,000 than for the $15 a week man to get along on $10. There aro several mil- own in financial matters once in a while. Mr. Fish, in the same interview, called attention to the painful fact that grocers at Newport, the rnecca of spendthrift millionaires, were actually demanding cash for the necessaries of life. S The best evidence that Governor Cummins is not a quitter is that ho Is keeping his office at the expense of his own financial advancement and go ing around making optimistic speechea to his people the same as if there had never been a senatorial contest. He is Just now giving one of the strongest demonstrations of his manliness. After much searching, and after be ing turned down in the choice once, the oold water party eventually landed two standard bearers to lead it on. Maybe the fact that New Jersey is such a shaky state accounts for Bry an's a'most insistent attitude that Judge George Gray be placed on the ticket with him. It would have served the double purpose of an alliance with the old line democrats generally and worked toward redeeming a state where the democracy suffers from dis affection. But Kern was a poor com promise, apparently. He is the personal attorney of National Chairman Tag gart, who has had a good deal of lit igation in connection with .the accusa tion that be maintained a gambling house at his French Lick Springs ho tel. It's odd that newspapers which alalm to be first class clamor to be known as second class when it comes to the mail privilege. Incidentally, a lot of fourth class postmasters, to sort of even things up, claim they give first class service. "Would you die for me?1' she asked dreamily.

Fifer, pastor of the Grace Methodist church, Des Moines, who attended the general con ference of the church, believes that the conference did wrong in not changing the rulo of the church per taining to amusements. Mr. Fifer gave to his iarish a report of the conference in which he took up the amusement issue and gave his opinion of the nonchange that it was unfortu nate, as the general rules covered the case sufficiently. Speaking of the conference action on this amusement question, 'Mr. Fifer said: "On the matter of the famous par agraph 248, the amusement section, the committee on state of church rec ommended by heavy majority that no change be made, thus disregarding the recommendation of the board of bishops. Strenuous efforts were made, both by friends and foes of the change to bring the matter before the confer ence for flnal discussion, but as all failed, the discussion goes on outside the conference. In my judgment, the proposed change wo"uld have told for greater good ultimately for the Meth odist church. am more and more op posed to the worldly amusements, es pecially as I note their influence for harm upon church members, but the paragraph is an awkward affair, prac tically inefficient, and embarrasses wiser and stronger enforcement by the ehurcli concerning 'diversions which cannot- toe used in the name of the tal abstinence in our parochial schools. Lord Jesus.* That the matter was not debated at length, earnestly and fair ly, and settled for a time at least, is to .be* regretted. Yet It Is fair to say that the large, majority of the Metho dist lay members do not desire any tinkering with the paragraph, some believing that such action would be so misinterpreted that grievous harm would be donS in the church. My own opinion is that the general rules cover the case sufficiently and with adequate power, without specific legislation. The church flourished for eighty-eight years under the general rule concemr ing amusemeints, and its opposition to such amusements was greater then! I think, than since the enact ment of the special legislation. "Special features of amendments to our church la,w were as follows: "The name presiding elder is changed to dis trict superintendent the Methodist all me^'s organizations within the church becoming members the board of stewards may be increased to twen ty-one the official board is empow ered to combine pastor's salary and current expenses and apportion the same among the members, and choose a treasurer for the common fund the old triple headed Freedman's Aid, Edu cation and Sunday School society, was divided, and the negro educational work put by itself. There is now a board of Sunday schools, with secretary for the field, and editor for Sunday school literature. The old term of six months' probation is done away with. Probation remains but the length or brevity of the term! lies with the official board or leaders and stewards meeting, and the pastor. The district superintendent may combine or do away with the sec ond and third quarterly conferences. Bishops will visit their conferences three times a year and probably hold the same conferences for a number of years. "Our church has a great mission yet As of earlier days its mission lies to the common people, to the cities greedy and pleasure loving, to the frontiers, needy and desolate to the rich class es who forget God in their luxury to the working men, who are led falsely to believe that the churches are their enemies to the foreign fields, darkened and afflicted to country and society, in the interests of civic righteousness. He is a shallow student of history who does not discover the providential lead ing in the organization of certain Christian bodies. Their mission will end when the spirit discovers to the members that their peculiar work is done, and their future duty lies in partnership or union with some other grea) er work. That union a"er"P^ scorn£ui and will Qne bofly baing conceited with assumed worth, but by the fraternal counsel together of men who have been traveling Jn parallel paths toward the kingdom of God on earth.

Bills, Formerly of This City, Thrown In to Wire, Received Score of Wounds —Horse So Badly Injured That Haa to Be Killed. 5 A bud accident happened at 6 o'clock this morning in Taylor town ship, at a point three and one-half miles north of the city, when Lloyd Bills, son of Mr. and Mrs. F. E. Bills, was thrown Into a mass of rusty barbed wire by a horse he was riding. The animal was so badly cut by the wire that it had to be killed. The wire had been stretched up about the garden to keep the cows from trampeJlng the cultivated ground. Later, while moving hay from the field, the wire was taken down, and since has been lying on the ground. When Master Bills started to ride one of the horses this morning the animal got its foot entangled in the wire and became frightened. The horse went down while fluondering, and the wire cut the animal's left hind leg so badly that the hoof was left hanging only by shreds of skin. The lad received fifteen of twenty bad cuts. A surgeon and a veterinary were hastily summoned, and the lad's wounds were dressed and cleansed, es pecial precaution being taken to guard against infection. The horse's injuries were so serious that it was shot. Mr. and Mrs. Bills occupy the Bra mer farm, and moved to the place last spring. They formerly lived In this city, at the corner of Second avenue and State street, at which time Mr. Bills was agent for. the Grand Union Tea company. NOTICE OF LETTING CONTRACT.

Courtenay caught the happy little sigh, half laugh, half sob, with which Elsie announced her discovery °f the Idyl in the canoe. "We owe a lot to that young per son," he said. "None of us could make out a word Bhe uttered wheu first we saw her. She loses what uuiall amount of Spanish she euu speak \vhen she becomes excited, and It was sheer good fortune that some of the crew were with her when she swung herself down the side of the cliff to warn us of our danger otherwise she might have bean »hc" 1 suppose Sua re told you what to exp«ct?" "You might as well be talking Alacu lof yourself for all I can follow what you are saying," murmured Elsie hap nllv Whereupon Courtenay took thought and explained that the channol which flowed through that amazing cut in the cliff led to the crater of an extinct volcano, Into which the sea poured twenty feet of water each tide. An almoBt everlasting maelBtrom raged within, as the water entered by a side long channel and sent a whirlpool spin ning with the hands of the clock until the enormous cistern was full and against them until it was empty. The sailors had taken refuge on a wide, sulphur coated ledge high above the vortex, and tbb presence of several skeletons showed that many an unfor tunate had sought a last shelter there against pursuit. Every Aiuculof knew of this retreat, but few dared approach it, as the rt-v of the water far below appalled them. There was only one path. When the hunters closed that their prey was safe. The alternative to capture was ueath by starvation. The Chileans and he himself during the past fourteen hours had subsisted on a bag of dried berries stolen by the girl whun she first led the sailors thither.

"Well, I Jumped up, and Joey nearly fell into the crater with delight. 1 was Just in time to save Suarez from being shot.

A line of flags dancing from the foremast told him that Beyle had discovered them as soon as they were clear of the deep shadow of Guanaco hill. But there were anxious moments yet In store. A fleet of canoes put o£f from Otter creek. There was every prospect of a fight before they reached their fortresn.

Gradually the sbl| crept north, gniulug way as the en gines Increased their stroke and the full body of the ebb tide made Its vol ume felt. Round swung the Kansas tc. the west Just as the sun cleared the highest peak of the unknown moun tains. How good It wns to feel the steady thrust of the pistons, the lonp roll of the ship over the swell! But best of all was It to hear Elsie tell how Dr. Chrlstobal had hauded her a bulky packet, in which she found' Courtenay's words of farewell, together with those wonderful letters which fate had held back from her twice already. They iv-sre only glowing epistles from the hundreds of passen gers ou the Florida, but six of them were proposals from enthusiastic la dies, all well dowered and eager to give their charms and their cash to the safe keeping of the man who had saved their lives. It was with refer ence to some joking comment by Cour tenay on these missives that his sister wrote to congratulate him on having escaped matrimony under such condi tions. Long before noon the Kansas clear ed White Horse island. Thenceforth the run was due south until eight bells, when for the second time within a fortnight the captain set the course south-40-east.

Speaker Cannon Takes Out State License to :Run His Machine. Springfield, Til., July 17.—"Uucle Joe" Cannon took out a license for a hlghpowar automobile, and everything connected with the application for the license would indicate that prosperity has not deserted "Uncle Joe." The li cense number allotted to the speaker by Secretary of State Rose was 14,499. The application shows the machine to be of the latest type. It seats seven passengers, and as "Uncle Joe" is ex pected to use it in his campaign for renomination and re-election for con gress, he probably expects to carry some of his campaign committee around with him. WHY RAIL MORTALITY IS LOWER Commerce Board Lays Decrease in Casualties to Reduction in Busi ness. Washington, July 17.—Tha the great reduction In the number of cas ualties to passengers and employes for -the three months ending March 31, 1908, when there were only 728 killed and 14,713 Injured, primarily was due to the decrease in the volume of bus iness on practically all of the rail roads of the country is the conclusion diawn from a review of the statistics by the interstate commerce commis sion in Ita accident bulletin. .The imnrber of collisions and de railments to the quarter was 2.632, which 1,190 were collisions and of 1,442 derailments. The number of passengers and em ployes killed by all causes is smaller than la any quarter since that ending June, 1904, and the killed in train ac cidents—125—Is smaller than in any quarter since July, 3901. Forty-four employes were killed in coupling ac cidents, which la smaller than any quarter since June, 1902. 1 WATSON SEE8 HOPE IN SOUTH People's Party Candidate Thinks He Will Take Votes From Bryan.

Study of human digestion which goes 011 constantly In the great med ical laboratories Is producing remark able results. No subject receives more attention, for digestion Is life—a fact that none know better than Americans, and none disregard more recklessly. This is why science in this country is put to Its utmost endeavor, not only to develop an even larger knowledge of the digestive process, but to give it the assistance needed in the cases of the great majority of people. Research in this absorbing subject has been marked by notable success In the laboratories of E. 'C. DeWitt Company of Chicago. Here physiol ogists set themselves the difficult task of making a combination of digestive elements that would digest all kinds of food needed to keep the human system In normal condition.

S-%4, '1 1 after years of experiments. It 1s now known everywhere under the name of Kodol. The value of this achievement In the Do Witt laboratories Is better understood when it Is known that each food element requires its own digestive element. There are many digesters but they digest only one or a few fond elements. With only the partial aid which they afford It Is necessary for the sufferer from indi gestion to abstain from certain foods— virtually to starve himself of food the system needs. Kodol comes to his relief with the assurance that he may eat with safely, ail the food the system craves. ,It is a distinct triumph worked out by scientific men In a long and patient experiment, and is proving of incalculable benefit to victims ot in digestion. „£V ESTABROOK BABE DEAD.

It is extremely gratifying to not* that the season tickets for the chau Uiuqua. which begins Tuesday at Le land Park have met with ready sale. Those In charge of the canvass last evening reported that only 200 of the. advance tickets remained and of these forty were delivered this morning. Th« natural suggestion is that those who have not supplied themselves will find occasion for hurry If tihey are to secure reason tickets at $1.50. How the Redpath System can fur nish programs of the high merit ad vertised is for its management to din cuss as a business proposition. The holder of a season ticket howafar, will hear the .most noted .speaker* of the platform, enjoy the multitude of enter tainers and the great Joint debate be tween Dr. Cadman and Capt_ Hobson at an average cost of about 8 1-3 cents for the 17 complete programs ottered.

X: ^Opposite Stoddart Hotel, Ce A. WEST Pittsburg, Kan., Man Extended Call to {Succeed Secretary John A. Goodell KNOWN THAT HE WILL ACCEPT Mr. Duokles Will Begin His Work Her* Aug. 15 or Sept. 1.—Directors Believe They Have Chosen Excellent Msn— Duckies Will Come With Highest of Recommendations. F. yc. Duckies, secretary of the Pittsburg, Kas., association, will be the next secretary of the Railroad Y. M. C. A. At a meeting of the board of directors, held this afternoon, a un animous call was extended to Mr. Duckies. Information from Lake Gen eva, Wis., today, where Mr. Duokles Is at present, is In effect that he will ac cept. The new secretary will begin his work either Aug. 15 or Sept. 1. A contract witl doubtless be closed with him later for a period of three years, at a salary approximating $1,400 a year. Believe They Have Excellent Man. Mr. Duckies was chosen from among a list of several candidates, and the directors firmly believe they have se cured a. most excellent secretary and one who is capable of carrying on and building up the association work, the foundation of which has been so well laid by Secretaries J. H. Felllngham and John A. Goodell. Mr. Duckies wa3 not called until the association officers had taken advantage of every oppor tunity to Inquire Into his record. Most Highly Reoommended. Mr. Duckies received the unqualified recommendation of State Secretary A. K. Shoemaker, of Kansas the state secretary of Illinois, in Which state Duckies has been a secretary, and of the international committee. Secretary Shoemaker wrote to Mr. Goodell that had he had anything in the state of Kansas to Mr. Duckies' liking, he would not think of letting him go. Mr. Duckies desired to leave Pitts burg because of the prevalence of ma larial fever, to which Mrs. Duokles was subject, and which was affecting her health. Roekford After Him. The Kockford, 111., association was also after Mr. Duckies, and he was seriously considering that offer. Mr. Duckies has had secretarial experience in both Kansas andi Illinois. Before Duckies a Big Man. Mr. Duckies is a big man, being over six fefet in height. He attained prom inence in athletics during his college career. He is 27 years of age, and has been married a little less than a year. Mr. Duckies Is at present attending the boys' work conference at liake Geneva, where he will be when those from this city, who expect to go to Lake Geneva early in August, will have an opportunity to meet him Local Comment Councilman Devine's position on this electric light and gas ordinance might be misunderstood unlpss a person could hear the doctor explain (himself on the subject. Mr. Devine believes that our rates could be reduced in fairness to the company, and he is going to favor a reduction when, upon proper Inves tigation, it appears what specific re duction will be fair and reasonable, fcvt the doctor knows that if rates are ar bitrarily set by ordinance, without careful inquiry and investigation being made, they will be knocked out in the courts on the one charge that the council did not inform itself as to what rate would be a reasonable one. The thing that makes Councilman Devine tired, however, is that the rec ord is being confused. He contends that all of the rates now In force have been enacted toy previous city coun cils, and that if they are wrong the councils $nd councilmen who enacted them should be censured rather than the company abused. He says that the company ihas always accepted the rates established by ordinance. He wants tlhe record kept straight as to who has been responsible in the past for the rates now in force, and which are too high. v: On this point the less controversy we have with Mr. Devine the better, for it is unquestionably, true that electric light and gas rates have been established by city councils. Tlhe or dinances, however, have always been the results of compromises between what the council wanted and what the company's lawyers would agree to ac cept without a lawsuit. This time the company ought to be made to produce Its books and then rates could be es tablished which would be known to be fair to the company. If tihe investors can pay the interest on their bonds, a reasonable depreciation charge, current maintenance without including exten sions, and can taike out cash dividends of. 8 per cent on the amount which they have actually Invested in their equity, the rest of the earnings ought graduating from Illinois College, Jack- service which the customer used to sonvllle, he was secretary of the Chi cago Eastern Illinois railroad as sociation in Chicago for six months. When he graduated he. returned to the same position for a year. He then was secured -by the Kansas state commit tee! and later went to Pittsburg and helped organize an association and conduct a canvass for $50,000 to build a building. The association was or ganized and $53,000 was secured for the building, which Is now nearing completion. Mr. Duckies has been in Pittsburg for fourteen months. to be returned to the public. This would be an easy matter to determine with the books open to a commission. The time is coming when the stat utes will compel all public service cor porations to report publicly on their earnings, so separated and classified as to show how much they are making on the actual capital invested and be in spected by public auditors Just as banks are inspected. A resolution to that effect came before members of the resolutions committee in the last state republican convention, and it came very near to being incorporated in the state platform. It is right in principle, and should be enacted into law. When the public pays 8 per, cent net to investors In the public service. It pays dividends equal to national bank dividends on a business contain ing less hazards, and It pays enough. Marshalltown has come to such a pass in the disorders of this railroad strike that it Is time for all good citl ssens to counsel together. Our own citizens are telling one another that men have to carry guns on their per sons in order to walk the streets of the city unmolested. There Is unquestion ably much unfortunate and unneces sary public odium cast upon the strik ing employes, and indirectly upon un ionism, by reason of the disorderly con duct of a few hot-headed pickets and more viciously inclined sympathizers. The honorable, upright and thoroughly respectable gentlemen among the strik ing employes, who stay at home and mind their own business, feel very keenly the humiliation, and are sensi tive of the suspicion which has been cast upon them by reason of events that have transpired. They have sent a committee to the T.-R. office to ex plain that they feel unjustly Censured by the prevailing public opinion. They argue that unionism with them means a brotherly combination among wage working men, to secure higher wages, shorter working hours, and better shop conditions. They believe that the la boring man does not get his fair share of what is produced by his labor, and they think that public sympathy ought always to be. with the union man and his organization in their efforts to dig nify labor. It Is not too late to mend. Let the union withdraw its pickets and call upon the mayor to suppress rioting with every power at his command. Let the mayor close every saloon in the strike district, if necessary, and apply the "Move On" to the class of loafers who are inclined to do violence in the name of the strikers. As aoon as the new men are able to eat At a restau rant or cash a pay check without being set upon by groups of other men .there will be no fights to result in gun play. Then let the Retail Merchants' asso ciation, or Father FStzpatrick, or some public body of disinterested persons, Intercede with the railroad company. One poor fellow Is dead, his wife a widow and guns enough have been in evidence to make more of them If we don't change our ways. Let us have peace. RODGER8 WINS MATCH. Finals in Championship Played—'WRin •ry Wins Second Flight. Two matches of the finals of the handicap golf tournament of the Coun try club were played late Friday after noon. Harry J. Rodgers won the cham pionship match from F. E. Stewart by 4 up and 2 to play. Frank Whlnery won from Luther G. McConnell In the final of the second flight by 3 up and 2 to play. Both matches were at eighteen holes. Rodgers had a handicap of four strokes over Stewart, but the match up to the thirteenth hole was very close. The first nine holes ended all even. The tenth was halved, and Rodgers won the eleventh. Stewart •took the twelfth 4 to 5, and the match was again all even. Rodgers won the thirteenth, fourteenth, fifteenth and sixteenth straight, the match ending on the latter green. Stewart did not play the game he is capable of during the last four holes, which was the principal reason for his defeat Frank Whlnery, a young but prom ising player, with a handicap of six over Secretary McConnell, of the club, beat the latter in a see-saw match. The prizes awarded for the matches were: Rodgers, fob with gold medal Stewart, fob with silver medal: Whin ery, fob with silver medal and McCon nell, fob with bronze medal. J. P. Woodbury, Jr., got into the fin als of the first flight by beating Miss Matena Nelson, who had a handicap of six over him, by 7 up 6 Friday after noon. Woodbury played an excellent game, his medal score for the first nine holes being a bogey. He will meet A. F. Hull, who has a handicap of 6 over Woodbury, in the final match of the flight. This match will end the tour nament «r «f' 1, No man could talk with his union neighbor without feeling an Intense amount of sympathy for him in the present situation, and the man wha makes the remark "That they ought all to have been shot," when referring to the shooting of Davies, should curb his tongue with the thought that the great majority of these union work men are our respectable law-abiding neighbors. But let us recognize some of the mistakes that have been made. If those workmen had struck in protest against a cut in wages, and had left the company's property in search of other work, they would have acted clearly within their rights, and the chances are that public sympathy would have been with them. The first mistake was made when pickets were employed by the union to' harass the "scabs." The second mistake was made when the pickets resorted to assault and slugging to intimidate the men who had taken their jobs. This is the point at which the union man's phil osophy fails utterly and will ever fall, when he denies to his business competitor the peaceful right to sell his customer the buy of the union man. Then the third mistake was made when the police ad ministration failed to realize that the kindest thing it could do for the cause of -the union man was to prevent the hot-heads from doing violence in the name of the organization. Had this been the first conception of public duty George pavles would not have been killed, strike breakers would not have an excuse to carry guns, and and-working, law-abiding, respectable and sensitive union workmen would not feel that 'the finger of public scorn had been unjustly pointed at'them. It Is useless to arrest men for carrying g'lus when they are In constant danger of assault. Business and Office Building to Take Place ot Former, Dr. Getz Home OLD HOUSE TO BE MOVED Building That Was for Many Year* Used as Physicians Office and Homo to Be Converted Into Flat Building —New Block Will Cost About *30, 000. East Main street is to have a new business block, to be built on the land now occupied by what was formerly the office and home of Dr. H. Li Getz and family, which has a residential number of 204. The building now on the land 1$ to be moved to a site di rectly north of the Pilgrim hotel, and Is to be remodeled into a fiat building. The Getz property Is owned by George iHotchklss A millionaire packer of New York City, who will build the block and remodel tHe frame building. Mr. Hotchkiss Is represented in the city by Mr. L. A. Davis, an architect of South Omaha, Neb. Mr. Davis was seen this Afternoon, and said a brick building of not less than two stories, and possibly three in height would be built on the East Main street land. The ground dimensions of the build ing are to be 61 feet on Main street, the width of the lot, and perhaps a» deep as the lot, which Is 180 feet. It may be decided not to build the entire length of the lot The building, accord ing to Mr, Davis, is to be first cluss and modem In every particular Mr. Davis said that no plans had been drawn for the building as yet, but that the general idea was to erect a block having two store rooms on the ground floor, with either offices or lodge room and quarters up stairs.. This general plan may be greatly changed should a tenant be found be fore building is begun, when the plans will be made to suit the renter. Mr. Davis thought, without having made an estimate, that t?he building Would cost between $20,000 and $30, 000., To Move Old Home. The old Getz home Is to be moved onto the north forty-four feet of what was formerly the land owned by A. E. Shorthlll, directly north of the Pil grim. Mr. Hotchkiss hat* purchased of J. G. C'apron, a site 44x164 feet for $1,650. The contract for moving the building a.nd for excavating the cellar was let tDday. The work of moving it will begin Monday. The improve ments to be made on the building will cost not less than $2,000 and perhaps a great deal more. The first fiobr ia to be rearranged Into a fiat of seven rooms, exclusive of bath, and the up stairs Is to be made into a flat of six rooms, exclusive of bath. Secured Property on Foreclosure. Mr. Hotchkiss secured the^ Getz property thru foreclosure proceedings about two years ago. Hp has realized that the property is too valuable for business purposes to be allowed to re main idle, and the Improvement con templated Is a move to realize on what Mr. Hotchkiss already has In the prop erty, in addition to other capital to be expended. "THE OLD SCRATCH." How the Evil One Came to Be Popu larly Known.as "The Old Scratch." One of the many familiar names of his satanlc majesty is "The Old Scratch." It is undoubtedly due to the fact that scratching is so disa greeable .that people thought it no worse than the evil one. A scalp full of dandruff keeps one scratching all the time not only disagreeable, but considered very Inelegant in polite so ciety—as it should be—because one ought .to keep the scalp so clean that It would not itch. To cure .the 'scalp of dandruff effectively, use Newbro's Herplclde. It kills the germ that cre ates the dandruff, which is prelimi nary to falling hair, and, finally, bald ness. No other hair preparation kills the dandruff germ. Herplclde also Is a very delightful and effective hair-' dressing. Sold by leading druggists.

Island, July 18.—The greatest golf ever played In the west according to the tournament followers, marked yesterday's mutches in the western championship tournament. Mason Phelps of the Midlothian dlub, was the principal performer, playing the course in 70, which tied the professional record for the course. He took three strokes off the amateur. He retired Paul Hunter 3 up and 2. The Midlothian prodigy had played around the course e'ight times in 77 or under and did a 76. Mason's 70 upset tihe dope again and retired young Hunter from the race and left the title lying between Phelps and Harry W. Allen of St. Louis. Allen himself was a performer in an other thriller, winning from John D. Cady, the Rock Island Arsenal crack, at the thirty-eight 'hole. Cady's victory over J3gan Wednesday, and his local popularity, gave them a gallery of sev eral hundred people, while the P.helps Hunter match for a time was followed only by Paul Hunter's father and a newspaper man. Sioux City to Cut Out Pueblo. Sioux City, July IS.— A Denver special to the Journal says: Because he considers Pueblo an un safe place to which to take his ball players, Manager Holmes of Sioux City has written Secretary Farrell of the National association asking him for authority to cut out the August ser ies in Pueblo. "I have written to Secretary Farrell," said Manager Holmes, "that the lives of my ball players would not be safe in Pueblo and that it would only in vite a tragedy to go on there again. To win a game would mean a riot. The lawless class which attend the games will not allow an umpire to render a decision as he sees fit." Manager Holmes threatens that un less he shall obtain consideration from the organization's head he will disband his team and disrupt the league. Iowa Falls Defeats Vinton. Special to Times-Republican. Iowa Palls, July 18.—Vinton's aggre gation of good ball twirlers came here yesterday, flushed with victory gained at Grundy Center where they defeated the Grundy team by a score of 17 to 1. The dope sheets gave it out that a similar trouncing awaited the Iowa Falls laddies, and it was with some misgivings that the local team entered the game. But the invincibility of the Vintonites proved' to be mostly hot air for the visitors proved easy picking for the home team, which defeated the bunch from Pat Murphy's town by a score of 15 to 6. All interest now cen ters in the Grundy Center-Iowa Falls game, scheduled at Grundy Center for the 22nd. Winfield Holds Barbecue. Special to Times-Republican. Wlnfleld, July 18.—Winfield pulled off her big ball game, barbecue and monster parade yesterday. The town was divided between the yellows and reds, and the business men vied in getting up floats. There were some cute "take-offs." appreciated by the local people. This is the fifth year Winfield has had a barbecue, and it promises to be a fixed feature in the town's history. The crowd this year was smaller than last, owing to the threatening rain. For the size of the town the crowds are marvelous. Phelps Leads Allen. Davenport, la., July 18.—At the end of the first nine holes, the final west ern golf championship lay between Ma son Phelps, of the Midlothian, and Harry W. Allen, of the Normandia. Phelps was 2 up. Polite Circumlocution. "Is that man a lobbyist?" "My dear sir, there are no lobbyists.

CAITLE Botli Steers and Cows Consider ably Lower Than They VVere Last Saturday HOGS WERE SLOW AND LOWER Sellers Held Firm, But Packers Were Very Bearish, and Trading Was Mostly of a Speculative Character— Receipt!! Extremely Liberal Sheep .Market Closes Weak. Chicago, July 18.—Cattle were nom inally steady steers closed weak, 40@ 75 and cows 50@1.00 lower than last Saturday. The demand continues indifferent from all sources. Packers still complain of the poor outlet for beef in the east and until conditions right themselves the country at large wants to hold back as much as possible, especially on half-finished steers which have been a drug on the market this week. Exporters purchased more indifTer ently than ever this week and the fact that only 15,870 cattle were exported from all ports in June, aguinst :I5,730 in June, 1907, shows how small the foreign demand has been of late. Receipts at Chicago the first live days of this week totaled 48,800, in cluding 10,000 Texas and western rangers. Total receipts of all kinds of cattle first five days of last week, 36, 698 and a year ago 66,845. Hogs. Hogs were slow and 5 lower. Re ceipts were extremely liberal lor Sat urday. Packers were very bearish, but sellers held firm. Most of the trading was of a speculative character. Sheep. Sheep were steady and almost life less. The market closes weak, and a little stronger on sheep and year lings, but. weak and lower on native Iambs. Range lambs have been scarce this week, but there has been a liberal showing Of southern lambs, the influ ence of which has held prices down here. Range sheep and yearlings have taken care of themselves. They come in large bunches, enabling the selling side to resist bearish tactics of buy ers to better advantage than in the case of widely scattered lots of na tives. There has been a broad demand for feeders all week, but few were available. About the only western lambs arriving was a big string of CaJ ifornias that realized $4.40. Chicago Livestock.

Below are given a few of the repre« ser.tative hog sales: Stoekers and Feeders. This is a busy season on the farm, and traders In stoekers and feeders feel the lack of country interest. Farmers have been much hindered in their work by rain, and, being short of help, are obliged to put in about all the availa ble time. This in a large measure ac counts for the light demand from the country which now prevails. There is plenty of grass and lots of room for stock cattle, but the high price of corn and the possibility of expensive feed ing are factors that have to be reck oned in the calculation. Quality of the offerings this week has been remarka bly poor and very few feeders were included in the receipts. There was a distinct scarcity of that class of goods. On the other hand common light grassy stoekers were rather abundant being in light request, were hard to sell ail week. Kansar CUv Live Stock. Kansas City, July 18.

By long odds, this was the most serious visitation of the sort known to this country. Euro pean countries have invasions by mice and other rodents and different localities in the United SfatoH have suffered at times. In re cent years, certain of the Irrigated valleys of the west, where alfalfa Is raised, liave been peculiarly subject lo attacks from hordes of mice of the common variety, known as meadow mice. About a year ago, In the summer, mice began to appear in the Ilumboldt valley in large numbers and to Increase rapidly. As one pair of mice will aver- progeny of about twenty-live in year, it can be Imagined the popula- was gun the work of bu Iding and the lat- stalks of the alfalfa destroyed but the ter contemplating doing so soon. roots were eaten.

So bad did the plague greatly reduced. Not only were the become that in November last It was esthrtated there were from 5,000 to 8,000 mice per acre over a stretch of 15,000 acres. In the summer the green food on the surface was the chief ob jective of their assaults. In the winter, the roots were given attention by the 190,- mice. They tried various pois- This killed some of the mice but It also destroyed the birds and various ani mals. The biological survey was called in to give aid last January. A young man, S. E. Piper, scientific assistant •in- the survey, was sent to the scene. When he arrived there, the ground on the farms covering many miles was 'literally honeycombed with the holes burrowed by the rodent host. Various poisons were tried, and finally it was discovered that alfalfa hay to which strychnine has been applied, was the best .means of destruction in the win ter season. Similarly it has been found green alfalfa is the best sub stance to use with poison in the sum mer. From 85 to 95 per cent of the mice were destroyed at a cost of 85 cents an acre. This means that about 100,000,000 mice were killed off. After the mice were 'killed, the fields were harrowed and cultivated so as to destroy the •burrows. It was estimated these holes or burrows numbered from 20,000 to 25,000 per acre. A source of aid In .ridding the val ley of the mice plague was the birds. Up to that time the farmers of Hum boldt Valley did not appreciate them. The crows, hawks, herons and gulls mobilized in the region of Humboldt Valley by the thousand and moved down upon it. For months the birds lived on mice, but this did not suffice to put an end to the epidemic. Just what is the cause of such visi tations Is a matter of dispute. For one 'thing, it is said a succession of favorable seasons and good crops, es pecially alfalfa, tends to increase. the number of mice. The breaking up of the irrigable country Is said to tend to drive many mice out of their homes and induce them to congregate in lo calities where the conditions are par ticularly favorable. The failure to give proper protection to birds that destroy mice adds to the other causes that are at work to bring about in vasions. The biological survey is studying the various causes, and later an interesting report will appear on the mice hordes In Humboldt valley, their extermination, and the causes leading up to the plague. It is doubt ful if in all the romances of nature, imagined by the nature ifictionists. there is a stranger story than this, of how 120.000.000 meadow mice made war on the farms of the Humboldt river country. Inquiries are being received at the postoffice department from rural letter carriers and others as to whether ru ral letter carriers can, under depart ment regulations, act as notaries pub lic. Assistant Postmaster General De Graw slates that while under .the state laws a notary public may be construed as ft! office, such an office is not in compatible with ihat of rural carrier, and that rural carriers who hold com missions as notaries public are per mitted to exercise the functions of that office, provided they In nowise In terfere with carriers' duties as rural letter carriers The position of the department is based upon a ruling by the acting assistant attorney general for the postofflco department dated April 23, 1903. wherein it was held that there is no United Slates law prohibiting a rural letter carrier from accepting and holding the office of no lary public. It should 0e understood, however, that notaries public are officers of the states from which they derive their re spective appointments and in the ex ercise of their authority are subject to the laws of those states. If a notary public Is forbidden by the laws of his state to hold any other office, then it follows that he must forfeit the office of notary public upon accepting that of rural carrier and that he can not be appointed as notary public iile holding the office of rural car rier.

John Sharp Williams tells a good story growing out of the recent fight in his state for .the gubernatorial nom ination. It is a fine illustration, Mr. Williams thinks, of quick repartee and native wit. One of the candidates for the nom ination for governor was Jeff Truly. The campaign was at its height, and while the question of prohibition was not directly an Issue, It was a question that would not down, and the people were attempting to line up the candi dates for all offices on one side or the other. Mr. Williams happened to be on the train one day when Jeff Truly was a passenger. He was perusing a paper when a well known Methodist minister approached and said to Mr. Truly with characteristic clerical bluntness: "Mr.fl Trury, do you "Mr. Truly, dot you drink whisky?" The candidate looked doubtful for a second, and then arising to his feet, re plied with great solemnity: "Mr. Blank, I decline to answer that question until I know whether it Is an inquiry or an Invitation."
